This is ancient, but this should be closed. It's completely unnecessary, ..
exists.

Description:
------------
It would be great if dirname() function had a second parameter, let's say - uint $level, which
would mean "how many path levels to strip off". By default this parameter could be set to
1 to not to break the backwards compatibility.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$path ='/var/www/localhost/public_html/tpl/';
echo dirname( $path);// /var/www/localhost/public_html
echo dirname( $path, 2);// /var/www/localhost
echo dirname( $path, 3);// /var/www/
echo dirname( $path, 4);// /var
echo dirname( $path, 5);// .
echo dirname( $path, 6);// .
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Expect this feature to be implemented
Actual result:
--------------
-
